text endocytic coated vesicles
basic FUNCTION AP2 adaptor complex linking clathrin to receptors in coated vesicles, clathrin-associated protein complexes are believed to interact with cytoplasmic domains of transmembrane proteins leading to their selection and concentration
CELLULAR PROCESS
PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS endocytosis transport , cellular trafficking transport
PATHWAY
metabolism
signaling
a component subunit of AP-2 adaptor complex, clathrin coat assembly complex
INTERACTION
DNA
RNA

REGULATION
activated by the autonomous E1A,requiring derepression of AP2A promoter by interaction of E1A with KLF12 corepressor CTBP1
